Chapter 159: Going to Sea
The production of a raft is actually very simple, that is, cut the balsa wood into suitable long sections, and then tie the wooden sections with ropes.

In addition, balsa wood is a good shipbuilding material, and each cubic meter of balsa wood only weighs 230 kilograms. A normal adult can lift balsa wood that is about 8 times its own volume or even more, so Su Meng and the others almost It was effortless to cut eight balsa trees into pieces of about the same length.

Then it was time to start making the raft.

She took out a hemp rope woven with ramie and tied it to one end of one balsa wood. After winding it around a few times, she tied up another end of the other balsa wood so that the two balsa woods were firmly connected by the rope. fixed together.

Then she placed a horizontal piece of balsa wood at the head and tail of the two pieces of balsa wood. The main function of these two pieces of horizontal balsa wood is to fix the planar shape of the raft so that the raft will not roll up, and it can maintain its shape even in the waves. Balance and stability.

The interlaced positions of horizontal balsa wood and vertical balsa wood need to be fixed as tightly as possible with ropes, because these are key parts, and they must be secure. If they loosen, it will be a very dangerous thing , especially in the unfathomable sea.

After she tied all the joints of the balsa wood in the middle, the raft was roughly formed, and it was only necessary to tie a firm knot around the top to ensure that the raft would not suddenly fall apart under force.

"Ha~"

I don't know who yawned first, and the atmosphere instantly became lazy.

"Okay, that's the end of today's work, everyone go to rest." Su Meng also yawned, with a look of tiredness on his face.

Soon, everyone returned to their respective shelters (rooms), got into sleeping bags and began to rest.

The next day, Su Meng was woken up from the bed by Du Jiayue before dawn.

She put on her clothes resignedly, walked out of the room, looked at the growing martial arts training team, and was a little speechless: "Gu Yue, Liu Yuan, Cao Zhixiang, Chen Yongjiao, Luo Huan, your physical foundation is too weak, I suggest you start with the most basic The exercise has begun, I believe you all understand the truth of going too far."

Therefore, Zhang Lin and Bo Jing temporarily came to play as coaches, and began to take Gu Yue and Liu Yuan to do basic exercises.

After a simple breakfast, Su Meng took Zhang Lin, Bo Jing, Cao Xuyang, and Chen Hao to the seaside on a raft, while Su Xiang and Du Jiayue stayed behind to deal with the black-skinned bean flour. Dry and store.

When he came to the seaside, he put the raft into the sea. Seeing that the raft was floating smoothly on the sea, Su Meng climbed onto the raft by himself and tried paddling. A float made of coconut shells was tied to the tail end of the raft, and five bamboo tubes filled with cold water were tied around the waist, along with wooden spears, fishing nets, fish baskets, and slings, and then he said to Zhang Lin and the others: "Ok!" Alright, Bo Jing stays, the others go back, and come back around four or five in the afternoon."

After speaking, she supported the raft with her oars and slowly moved away from the sea.

The raft went upstream, and after drawing a certain distance, Su Meng could only sit cross-legged on the raft to keep her balance and prevent herself from being overturned by the waves.

Fortunately, she made two paddles on the raft, otherwise it would have taken more effort to row the boat forward.

The sea looked calm on the surface, but when Su Meng really entered a certain distance, he realized that everything was just an appearance.

One after another, huge waves hit her with an indomitable and invincible momentum. At this time, her clothes were completely soaked, with a refreshing chill.

But at this moment, she didn't have the mind to take care of it. She fully controlled the raft and the oars, and used the knowledge in her mind to steer the raft.

The sea breeze whispered in her ears, making her cheeks ache.

After struggling through a few huge waves, the sea finally calmed down again. Although there were still small waves churning, it was much better than the one-story-high huge waves just now.

At least she was getting used to the rhythm of the raft now.

At this time, she had already sailed a certain distance on the raft. She sat on the raft and watched Taiji Island gradually shrink in her eyes, and the white waves rolled towards Taiji Island. This scene looked beautiful like a fairyland.

The sea is vast and wide, and the raft fluctuates with the waves. The sun shines on the sea, and the sparkling light is very beautiful.

"It's almost there." Su Meng muttered, took out the fishing net from the back sling, stood up carefully, and began to cast the net to catch fish.

She first soaked the fishing net in sea water to reduce the size of the net, then held the net kick and a third of the net mouth with her left hand, and hung the net kick on her thumb with her right hand, so that Hooking the net kick can maximize the opening of the fishing net.

After choosing the right location, she used her arms to cast the fishing net towards the target point.

The fishing net in her hand is not big, it is a kind of hand-throwing net. This kind of fishing net is mostly used for fishing in shallow seas, rivers and lakes. Although she seems to have driven a raft for a long distance now, But in fact, she is still in the shallow sea area at this time.

Because generally speaking, areas with a water depth of less than 500 meters are considered shallow sea areas.

After waiting for a while, she estimated that the fishing net had sunk to the bottom of the sea, and then she began to pull the main rope to close the fishing net, which is commonly known as pulling the net.

After lifting the fishing net out of the water, Su Meng found that although the net was fruitful, it did not catch too many fish, only a few palm-sized plaice, trevally and yellow croaker.

Throwing these few fish into the fish basket, she cast out the fishing net again.

After casting the net three times in a row, she sat on the raft, looked at the full fish basket, grinned silently, and prepared to drive the raft back to the shore.

Just at this time, there was also a wave hitting her. She quickly packed up her things, sat on the raft and pulled the oars with both hands, and was going to go back with the wind and waves, which could save a lot of energy and time.

After returning to the shore, Su Meng poured out all the fish in the fish basket, and said to Bai Jing: "You just deal with these sea fish here, and use smoke to roast them, otherwise these sea fish won't last long It stinks, especially trevally."

Trevally, also known as blue round trevally and stick fish, is a migratory fish with a streamlined body, blue-green back and silvery white abdomen. This fish has delicious meat and few spines.However, trevally should be eaten fresh. If left for a long time, the histidine in the fish will quickly decompose and produce toxic histidine substances. If you eat this kind of fish, you will definitely suffer from food poisoning, so you must Process it as quickly as possible and make it into smoked fish.

Thinking of this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Su Meng's face.

Although trevally sometimes appear in twos or two or alone, most of the time they appear in groups. They especially like to swim in groups on cliffs, forming a spectacular cylindrical fish school storm. During the breeding season, trevally will even Swim to a specific sea area to spawn, and these locations are usually the outer oceans.

The spawning season for trevally is also spring and summer, that is, now.

Now that there are trevally here, should she take a gamble and row the raft farther?

If she meets a school of trevally, it will be a real giveaway. The bicycle becomes a motorcycle. Not to mention the rainy season, even winter, they can survive it.

Thinking of this, Su Meng couldn't help breathing fast.
